ACP and Particle Films Webinar

The University of California is offering a free webinar next week, July 15 at 11 AM,

on

Managing ACP and Citrus Growth Using Particle Films.

Particle films such as

kaolin/Surround are among the organic options for ACP management.

The webinar is

approved for 1.0 CEU. 

 


Managing Asian Citrus Psyllid and

Citrus Growth Using Particle Films

Thursday, July 15, 2021

11:00 AM-12:00 Noon (Pacific Time)

optional discussion period to 12:30 PM

 

Featured Speaker

Dr. Christopher Vincent, Assistant Professor

Horticultural Sciences, University of Florida

More about Dr. Vincent

 

Learn about the benefits and challenges of using particle films to manage Asian citrus psyllid and citrus physiological and growth response to particle films. Dr. Vincent and Dr. Monique Rivera, UC ANR Cooperative Extension Specialist, UC Riverside will address impacts on HLB dynamics, as well as effects of particle film treatments on canopy growth and yield during early establishment.

Research Snapshots

Image removed.

See how scientists are working to control HLB by reading short snapshots about their research. Topics include:

  • Traditional breeding and genetic engineering to create resistant citrus varieties
  • Psyllid modification
  • Using other organisms to deliver HLB-resistance genes
  • Early detection of the bacterium in trees.

Growers and end-user audiences can use this PowerPoint presentation which has been tailored for their use. It provides general background on the genetics that are used to modify crops and information on state and national regulatory approaches and consumer attitudes.

Examples of the questions that are addressed:

  • What are the general processes of genetically modifying plants and insects?
  • When and where did huanglongbing (HLB) come from?
  • What are some genetic approaches to controlling HLB?
  • What is consumer response to engineered crops and foods?
